THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Total
net revenues were RMB7,200.0 million (US$986.8 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 84.9% from
RMB3,894.6 million in the same quarter of 2022. Net revenues growth was primarily driven by the increase in the number of products sold,
the increase in stores in operation and the increase in the number of monthly transacting customers, even though the average selling price
of the Company’s products decreased.
| · | Revenues from product sales were RMB5,359.3
million (US$734.5 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 78.9% from RMB2,995.5 million in the same quarter
of 2022. |

| · | Net revenues from others were RMB144.4 million (US$19.8
million), representing 2.0% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2023, compared to RMB130.9 million, representing 3.4% of total
net revenues, in the same quarter of 2022. |

third quarter of 2023, which represents an increase of 104.7% compared to RMB899.1 million, representing 23.1% of total net revenues,
in the same quarter of 2022. For the third quarter of 2023, revenues from partnership stores included sales of materials of RMB1,252.9
million (US$171.7 million), sales of equipment of RMB246.1 million (US$33.7 million), profit sharing of RMB195.3 million (US$26.8 million),
delivery service of RMB130.4 million (US$17.9 million) and other services of RMB16.1 million (US$2.2 million). |
Total
operating expenses were RMB6,238.3 million (US$855.0 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 88.5%
from RMB3,309.4 million in the same quarter of 2022. The increase in total operating expenses was predominantly the result of the Company’s
business expansion. Meanwhile, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 86.6% in the third quarter of 2023, slightly higher
than 85.0% in the same quarter of 2022, mainly due to the increase in cost of materials as of a percentage of net revenues resulting from
the decreased average selling price of the Company’s products, but was offset by the decrease in other operating expenses as of
a percentage of net revenues driven by increased economies of scale and the Company’s technology-driven operations.
| · | Cost of materials were RMB3,166.6 million (US$434.0
million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 119.8% from RMB1,440.5 million in the same quarter of 2022, which
was generally in line with the increase in the number of products sold and the increase in sales of materials to partnership stores. |
| · | Store rental and other operating costs were RMB1,425.5
million (US$195.4 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 85.0% from RMB770.4 million in the same quarter of
2022, mainly due to the increase in labor costs, store rental as well as utilities and other store operating costs as a result
of the increased number of stores and items sold in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. |
| · | Depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB160.1 million (US$21.9 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an
increase of 53.6% from RMB104.2 million in the same quarter of 2022, mainly due to the increase in amortization of leasehold improvements
for the stores and the increase in depreciation expenses of additional equipment put into use in new stores in the third quarter of 2023. |
| · | Delivery expenses were RMB587.5 million (US$80.5 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 35.7% from
RMB432.8 million in the same quarter of 2022, mainly due to the increase in the number of delivery orders. |
| · | Sales and marketing expenses were RMB384.4 million (US$52.7 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase
of 141.3% from RMB159.3 million in the same quarter of 2022, mainly driven by the increase in (i) advertising and other promotion
expenses as the Company continued to make strategic investments in its branding through various channels, (ii) commissions to third-party
delivery platforms which is in line with the increase in the number of delivery orders and (iii) subcontract service fees to support
the Company’s e-commerce business and promotion activities. Sales and marketing expenses amounted to 5.3% of total net revenues
in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 4.1% of total net revenues in the same quarter of 2022. |
| · | General and administrative expenses were RMB481.3
million (US$66.0 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 25.5% from RMB383.5 million in the same quarter of
2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly driven by the increase in (i) payroll costs for headquarter
staff, (ii) expenditures for office supplies, (iii) tax surcharges and stamp duty and (iv) research and development
expenses, which was offset by the decrease of share-based compensation for restricted share units and options issued to management and
employees. General and administrative expenses amounted to 6.7% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 9.9% of
total net revenues in the same quarter of 2022. |
| · | Store preopening and other expenses were RMB30.1
million (US$4.1 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 215.5% from RMB9.5 million in the same quarter of 2022,
mainly due to more stores preparing to be opened in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter of 2022. Store preopening
and other expenses amounted to 0.4% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.2% of total net revenues in the
same quarter of 2022. |

quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 67.2% from RMB9.2 million in the same quarter of 2022, as the Company had successfully completed
its provisional liquidation in March 2022 and gradually resolved substantially all outstanding litigations. The losses and expenses
related to Fabricated Transactions and Restructuring consisted primarily of professional and legal fees for securities litigations
and other advisory service fees. Losses and expenses related to Fabricated Transactions and Restructuring amounted to nil% of total net
revenues in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.2% of total net revenues in the same quarter of 2022. |
| · | Store level operating profit margin - self-operated stores was 23.1% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 26.9% in the
same quarter of 2022, primarily due to the decrease in average selling price of the Company’s products but offset by the benefits
of economies of scale from the increased number of products sold. |
GAAP
operating income was RMB961.7 million (US$131.8 million) in the third quarter of 2023, representing a GAAP operating
income margin of 13.4%, compared to RMB585.3 million, or a GAAP operating income margin of 15.0%, in the same quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP

of deferred tax assets given the largely reduced uncertainty of the Company’s business performance after a certain number of the
Company’s operation entities have turned cumulative profits from cumulative losses. As a result, approximately RMB252.1 million

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP
operating income/(loss) and non-GAAP net income/(loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing the Company’s
operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures
because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes
that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business, provide further information about
the Company’s results of operations and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and
are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s
non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent
the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information
used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these
limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered
when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information
in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company defines non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding
share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income as net income excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses and
fair value changes of derivative asset bifurcated from Series B Senior Secured Notes and non-recurring item of provision for equity
litigants and gain from extinguishment of Series B Senior Secured Notes, and non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s
ordinary shareholders as net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders excluding recurring item of share-based
compensation expenses and fair value changes of derivative asset bifurcated from Series B Senior Secured Notes and non-recurring
item of provision for equity litigants and gain from extinguishment of Series B Senior Secured Notes.

of this earnings release.
